Chapter 039: The Bookstore
Since Jia Youwei exchanged mobile phone numbers with Tang Weiwei at the reading party, the "nightmare" began. From morning to evening, she called at least three times to greet her, and she was still on time for three meals in the morning, noon and evening.
And if there are three more calls, it means that you will have a meal at 10 a.m., afternoon tea at 3 p.m., and a supper at 11 p.m.
If Jia Youwei didn't notice that his personal mobile phone was out of battery that day, it would be automatically turned off, and when he turned it on again, the short message came, and the "Didi" prompt sound would last for more than a quarter of an hour.
This is all from Tang Weiwei's mobile phone number, so he didn't dare to turn it off. Open a short message by yourself one by one, it's nothing more than why did you turn off your phone?
Do you hate me anymore? Even if you hate me, you have to make it clear face to face? You have the ability to turn off the phone, why don't you dare to make it clear to me face to face?......
Jia Youwei's head was "buzzing" in a flash. His first reaction was that he couldn't afford to provoke the current post-90s. So, I had to dial Tang Weiwei's phone number to explain.
Before he could speak, he was preempted by the other party and said, "Come to my bookstore!"
Before Jia Youwei could speak, he heard a hang-up tone from the other end of the phone. He had to go out and step into the place called Weiwei Bookstore that Tang Weiwei ran again.
"What are you drinking, coffee, or milk tea?" Tang Weiwei stood in the bar and greeted warmly with a smile.
"Just give me a glass of water. Jia Youwei walked towards her, and sat directly on a blue modern rotating chair outside the bar.
Tang Weiwei held a cylindrical glass in one hand and Evian mineral water in the other. She first put the empty glass in front of Jia Youwei, then unscrewed the lid of the Evian mineral water, and slowly poured the water into the cup.
"Is there anything I need to do for you?" Jia Youwei said with a serious expression and sat upright.
Tang Weiwei poured water into the cup for two-thirds of the time, only then stopped, put it aside, and said with a smile: "It's okay, can't I invite you, a great writer, to sit in my small bookstore?"
"It's not just a matter of sitting!" Jia Youwei put his hands crossed in front of his chest, and said with words in his words.
Although he is not a veteran of the love scene, he is also a person from the past. As soon as he heard this, he understood that Tang Weiwei probably had a good impression of him, and it was not ruled out that the other party wanted to develop in the direction of boyfriend and girlfriend.
"It's really as simple as just sitting down. Tang Weiwei suddenly blushed slightly, and pushed the pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose with two fingers of his left hand upward.
"Since that's the case, then I'll sit down!" Jia Youwei then said with her dumb riddle.
When he had finished speaking, he said not a word more. I just picked up the glass with my right hand, tilted my head, and took a big sip of water.
Jia Youwei held the cup in his hand, slightly rotated the seat under his buttocks for half a circle, and saw that there was no customer in the store, only two working girls were busy cleaning.
Judging from the decoration, even if this place is not too big, it should be a sum of money invested in it. Otherwise, it would not be such a petty bourgeois real-life effect.
"What do you think of me here?" Tang Weiwei took the initiative to break the silence.
"Good. Jia Youwei rotated the seat under his ass half a circle to face her, and said something.
"It's over?" said Tang Weiwei, who was not used to this way of squeezing toothpaste.
"Otherwise?" Jia Youwei said with a smile.
"You really have to be the father of a certain student in Teacher Jane's class?" Tang Weiwei didn't believe that all this could be true.
"Am I not like a father? Jia Youwei spread his hands and said.
"Are you divorced?" Tang said with a slight movement in his heart, and his voice revealed a little excitement.
Jia Youwei realized that his last sentence just now was redundant. He didn't want to deceive the girl in front of him who was pure and pure, and her thoughts were relatively simple.
He nodded his head and quickly changed the subject: "It stands to reason that you are a sophomore, and you shouldn't be so idle, right!
Tang Weiwei's eyes widened a lot, and he stared at him tightly and said, "How do you know that I am in the second year of college? Could it be that Teacher Jian told you?"
"Does this still need to be said by Mr. Jane? The owner of the bookstore will keep the college professional books at hand and read. Jia Youwei's right index finger pointed to the place where she put the book.
Tang Weiwei suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile: "You guess me again." If you're right, I'll treat you to dinner. If I'm wrong, invite me to dinner. ”
Jia Youwei didn't hate the girl in front of him, but he found that she was cute and interesting, and said, "You should be a rich second generation." Opening such a bookstore is just for the sake of playing tickets. ”
Tang was slightly stunned, the thumbs of both hands were erected, and he did not deny it: "You are really good! I've never told anyone about my family background. ”
Jia Youwei drooped his head and looked at her happily: "What's this? The shops on both sides of this street are almost all in the business of catering.
Other than that, the rest are either internet cafes or hotels. Otherwise, it's a supermarket. You're the only one who is a bookstore.
It's nothing to be a bookstore, the problem is that you don't sell reference books for graduate school entrance examinations, certification examinations, English exams, computer grades, etc., but you are selling physical books of serious literature.
For this reason, there is only one reasonable explanation, to lose money and earn feelings. You children, either like to run cafes, cake shops, or similar to this model of adding water to a bookstore, I feel that it is literary enough. ”
He paused, took two more sips of water, and continued: "Just your store, it didn't cost a million to decorate it, but there are hundreds of thousands.
And here, if you only sell a few books and a few glasses of water, when will you be able to pay for yourself? Moreover, a bottle of mineral water like yours can be sold for more than ten dollars a bottle in the supermarket.
Even if it is doubled, it makes sense. It's just that this price is already comparable to Starbucks' coffee for about 30 yuan.
It's just that in the minds of college students, spending the same price, or going to Starbucks to be more high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade, resulting in your price competitiveness is gone.
Do you still have freshly ground coffee machines with imported coffee beans, which can be consumed by ordinary students? Not to mention that the rent of shops in this area is not cheap. ”
